If someone took your child, how soon would you stop looking for her? If someone accused your best friend of a terrible crime, when would you stop defending him? Seven years after Joe Tyler’s daughter Elizabeth was abducted, he hasn’t stopped looking for answers, and he hasn’t forgotten the friend who stood by him as he lost his wife, his home, and his career in his search. Now he’s been brought back to San Diego by the news that this friend has been arrested for beating up a teenage girl—a girl not much older than Elizabeth would be now. Joe is convinced Chuck Winslow is innocent, but Chuck is in a coma and can’t explain what happened. And the more Joe hears about what Chuck’s been up to in the years he’s been gone, the less Joe recognizes his old friend. To find out the truth, he will have to face his ex-wife, his former bosses, and a hometown full of wealth, lies, and illicit privilege. When Chuck’s accuser goes missing, Joe must decide where his loyalties truly lie.

Joe Tyler has a picture. After years of looking for his missing daughter, Elizabeth, and coming up empty, he finally has something. A picture of her shortly after her abduction, showing her with another girl in Minneapolis, far away from her home in San Diego. When Joe arrives in Minneapolis, armed with the picture and an address, he begins to follow a vague trail of clues into Elizabeth’s life in Minnesota. He enlists the aid of a local woman, who specializes in helping runaways. In exchange for her help, Joe attempts to help her locate a boy who works for her and has gone missing. As Joe digs further into the dark underworld of runaways on the Minneapolis streets, he begins to close the gap between himself and his long missing daughter. A retired detective and a few others offer him more hope, but what Joe doesn’t realize is that the closer he gets to finding Elizabeth…the further away he actually is.

So close... Joe Tyler is close to finding his daughter. After a narrow miss in Minnesota, Joe follows a money trail to Denver, hoping to finally find Elizabeth, the daughter who was stolen from him nearly a decade earlier. Accompanied by his ex-wife Lauren, he enlists the reluctant help of Elizabeth's friends, only to find that he's missed her. Again. Armed with new information, Joe races to California, desperate to find his daughter. Stymied by roadblocks and dead-ends, Joe soldiers on with his search, realizing there is more than a reunion at stake. He just might be saving his daughter's life. With time ticking and no clear answers in sight, Joe focuses on the one thing he's always held on to – the thread of hope that he'll finally reunite with his daughter and bring her back where she belongs. Home.

Elizabeth Tyler is finally home. After years spent searching for her, Joe Tyler found his daughter and brought her home. But things aren't perfect and Joe is still looking. Not for his daughter, but for the person responsible for her disappearance. As Elizabeth tries to adjust to her new life, Joe continues his quest for answers. The more questions he asks, the closer he gets to discovering the ugly truth, a truth he's not prepared for. Joe Tyler gets his answers. But will what he discovers help with the healing process? Or will they just shatter his life once again?

Joe Tyler finally has his daughter – and the answers to what happened that fateful day years ago. After spending nearly a decade searching for her, Elizabeth is home and the people who were responsible for her disappearance were tried and convicted through Joe's own personal system of justice. Life should be perfect. But it's not. Because Joe Tyler has debts to pay. John Anchor, the man who helped find Elizabeth, did so at a cost. And now he's at Joe's doorstep, looking to collect. All Joe wants is to to hang up his investigator's hat and create a life with Lauren, Elizabeth and the new baby on the way. He knows he owes Anchor but when Joe learns what he wants, he realizes something else, too. Paying back his debt may require a bigger payment than he imagined. But not paying it back may cost him even more.

Joe Tyler’s life is almost normal. His daughter is back home. His relationship with her mother is stronger than ever. The three of them are living under one roof, eager to start the next chapter of their lives together. But one mistake is about to shatter all of that. One mistake. A lie told to John Anchor, the dangerous man responsible for helping Joe reunite with Elizabeth. A lie that comes back to haunt Joe. When John Anchor asked for repayment, he didn’t take no for an answer. And when he discovers now that he has been lied to, he makes sure the consequences are personal for Joe. And deadly.

Joe Tyler knows life will never be normal. Not after his daughter Elizabeth’s abduction and near decade-long absence, and not after his ex-wife’s murder. He just wants a chance to put his life back together, even though he knows there will always be missing pieces. As he works to sort out the future, Elizabeth’s new boyfriend goes missing during a camping trip. He doesn’t want to get involved, but Elizabeth insists. When they start looking for him, though, they discover things that don’t quite add up. Things that put them in danger. And suddenly, Joe isn’t concerned about finding this missing person. His only goal is making sure he and Elizabeth make it out alive.

Joe Tyler is done with investigations. Or at least he tells himself he is. He has a new job teaching history at the local high school, and his daughter, Elizabeth, is no longer at home, as she's living nearby, in her third year of college. But something isn’t right. Not with Joe…and not with Elizabeth, either. When Mike Lorenzo asks Joe for help in finding his missing nephew, Joe doesn’t turn him down. He owes Mike, for favors too numerous to mention, and as his search for the kid intensifies, he realizes he’s looking for more than just clues to solve this particular case. He’s looking for answers to bigger questions, questions he didn’t even know he was asking. And Elizabeth is, too.

A missing kid. Two desperate parents. And a story that just doesn’t add up. Joe Tyler knows all about finding missing kids, so when Desmond Locker’s parents ask for help locating their son, he agrees to take the case. Having quit his teaching job and returned to investigating, he’s not in a position to turn down a job. But Joe quickly learns that the story behind Desmond’s disappearance is more complicated than it seems. And far more sinister. As secrets and lies rise to the surface, Joe realizes everyone involved in Desmond’s life—his parents, his friends, his pregnant girlfriend—has a different story to tell. But only one of them knows the truth.
